Go ahead and keep proving your ignorance. By far, the worst surge is east of the eye, not north and west.
And that part of the Louisiana coast is barely above sea level, so surge can go well inland.
you claim because of the eye of the storm, that it magically means no surge...thats absurd....this was a strong cat 4 hurricane and the surge was along the coast, like it always is....this 30-40 inland claim is fantasy....your imagination.
